Athletics Instructional League - part 3

Short
morning practice lunch at 10:30

We are
moving to the Diamondbacks facility to play against a Korean team. The
complex is just amazing, 13 field, a series of 10 cages just next to 10
bullpens. A stadium in the middle. Two teams are sharing the complex Diamondbacks and Rockies.

Korean have
a pretty good team, pitchers are all throwing around 85 miles per hour. Jaso comes from
the plate and says: “watch out it’s so slow…” None of our guys throw under 90
that day. Korean are overmatched , Athletics are faster, stronger, better
pitching, fielding is unbelievable. Here we can see the level.
